Looking for some rim protectors for the ds3 and saw these:-

Seem very reasonably priced, do the tyres have to come off the bead for these to be fitted? Or is it a DIY jobby :)

Very similar to "Alloy-gators" mate....

And I always thought they weren't worth the money - as I'd surely be careful enough not to scratch my rims..... Until reverse parking one day and not noticing that fallen kerb stone about 2 inches proud of the rest of the edge of the road...:sad: Result - 2 nice big chunks out of my AMG rims; wish I'd bought them now......:mad:

Doesn't matter how good a driver someone is, mistakes will be made. Gutted for you Richard, my car has some minor kerbing so I'd like to cover them up with these and prevent further damage. Quite good value really

Cheers daffy! Useful info bud :thumbup:

Booked the car in for some alloy gates rather than the Rim Blades. Heard some poor reviews on them but nothing other than good ones for the alloy gaters. £110 including VAT and warranty. Not bad considering no where will touch my alloy wheels for a refurbished should they get damaged. Diamond cut :wink:
